a passion for angling

Dalarna

The weekend before midsummer I was in Idre, not only for fishing. The mountaintops were still covered in snow and insect hatches were close to zero. The evening fishing in a beautiful small stream gave no result at all. Instead conditions for pike fishing looked very promising. But fishing from a canoe with strong winds is no pleasure. So I gave up after two hours with at least one fish taken. The other day we cheated a bit to get a fish on the fly. Some locals recommended a very nice woodland lake with a stock of hungry rainbows.

fascinating wildlife and a completely different landscape within a few hours drive from
